Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for October 3, 2011 Page 6 of 10 nonpayment of sewer and water bills has raised a concern with homeowners. Early last week, City staff met with HOA Representative Steve Anderson to provide him information regarding the request. Community Development Director Bryan Bear said it was typical in most cities to have one meter per building, but it was physically possible to meter each unit; however there was a cost involved. Mr. Anderson will be presenting this information to the HOA at their next meeting. Steve also said the City should change development policy to require individual meters be installed at the time of construction. Miron made motion, Weidt seconded, to direct staff to review the policy on water meters with consideration to having individual meters for each unit. All Ayes. Motion carried. City Administrator Mike Ericson stated some cities were facing the same issue due to the high number of foreclosures.
